Not yet, the three predicted the first round pick to fall in the second round, if the Rockets have ideas, they can spend a small amount of money to do big things

The NBA 2025 draft has kicked off today, and the top 30 rookies in the first round have already achieved results. After the first round, people's expectations for rookies in the second round were not very high, and some teams even just wanted to fill the lineup list.

However, with some rules changing in the past two years, the second round draft has become quite interesting. The first is that the league changed the original one-day draft time to two days. The second round rookies will play alone the next day, which gives each team more time to examine the players. At the same time, this year, due to the changes in the NCAA league rules, each team has an injected capital of more than $20 million, making the income of college star players comparable to some mid-term rookies in the first round, causing a large number of players to withdraw from the election, so in the second round, the general quality of players will be higher.

After the first round draft pick of today's draft, the three players who were originally expected to be selected in the first round were eventually lost, which allowed many teams with the second round draft pick to get good Taobao opportunities. The first player is Fleming, a junior at St. Joseph University.

As a very mature player, Fleming's physical test data is also quite impressive. His bare feet are 2.04 meters tall, his wingspan is 2.25 meters, and his standing touch height is 2.77 meters. His static talent is comparable to Sauber, who chose the 15th pick in the Thunder. On the earliest simulation list, many people thought the Rockets would choose the forward player at the 10th pick. Even in the final mock draft list, it is predicted that Fleming will be taken away with the 17th pick in the first round.

Unfortunately, he was not heard until the end of the first round. As a player who is 21 years old this year, age is an important factor affecting his draft pick. Last season, he averaged 14.7 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 39%, and a real shooting percentage of 63.8%. However, he can be ignored by all teams in the first round, Fleming naturally has obvious shortcomings.

In addition to his slightly poor potential, Franming is not very willing to assist in defense. Logically speaking, his 2.26-meter-26 wingspan has huge advantages in assist in defense, but his overall defensive efficiency is very average. At the same time, I am a little blind in shooting choices, and I often forcefully attack and my basketball IQ is not very high. The future development template may be as good as the Pelicans Herbert Jones. After losing the first round, many people said that Fleming must have the name of Fleming in the top five of the second round tomorrow.

The second player is Noonpenda, a forward from France. This young forward who is only 20 years old and tall is 2.03 meters tall, played for Le Mans last season in France's top league. He averaged 10.2 points, 5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, and he was very skilled. In previous draft predictions, Peng Da was ranked 28th.

Peng Da has very good inside skills and his finishing efficiency is very good at the basket. But the main reason why he lost the first round is that his shooting ability is too average. His three-point shooting percentage is less than 30% for Le Mans this season, and his mid-range shooting percentage and free throw shooting percentage are also not ideal. This makes the team that wants to choose him worry. Peng Da, who cannot improve his shooting, may become a "no-no-four" player like the Hornets Saron.

The third place is Adu Tiello from the University of Arkansas. Tiello, who is 2.03 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.13 meters, has very good mobility and can be seen to complete the chase block in the game. On the offensive end, Thiero mostly uses his physical advantage to force his opponents and gets an opportunity to score easily through empty cuts. Last season, Thiero's shooting percentage at the basket reached 77.5% efficiently. In previous draft predictions, Thiero was ranked 29th.

However, he has the same technical shortcomings as Peng Da. In terms of three-point shooting, Thiero's three-point shooting percentage was only 21.4% last season and his free throw shooting percentage was 68%. At the same time, his shooting movements were significantly disconnected, and it was difficult to create shooting opportunities independently, which would be a key factor affecting his growth.

The above three are all front lines that have had the first round market. If the Rockets want to add a reserve force to the team, they can get a second round draft pick through money purchases or transactions. Compared with the precious first round pick, this will be much less pressure for the Rockets. As for the specific situation, everything will have a clear answer after tomorrow!
